Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Weather will remain dry but with some cooling Sunday and Monday. Winds will begin to increase through the Columbia Gorge and east slopes of the Cascades. There’s a risk of isolated fire starts from lightning mainly over eastern Oregon. Southeastern Oregon is at most risk for fires due to the very dry conditions being reported.
